Is it possible to customize Windows 8.1 colors similarly to how it was since Win95 in the "Advanced Appearance Settings"?

For the first time since Windows 95, Windows 8/8.1 ceased to offer the "Advanced Appearance Settings", which enabled the following customizations:

That is a shame, not only because users lost customization power, but specifically because it made much more difficult for an user to set its own dark-theme version of the system.

Is there any way to change such colors in Windows 8.1? Notice that I am not talking about merely doing this and I also am not talking about patching the Windows to use customized 3rd party themes. I talking about a way for users to customize the colors of the windows in Windows 8.1 (trough registry, trough hidden options, trough a third party software that tries to recover such lost options, etc).

Thanks!
